Birthday Week Part II

Sorry everyone that I fell off the blogosphere last week. Things got really crazy around here starting on Wednesday and didn't stop until about Saturday afternoon!

To Anonymous from North Texas-- At this point in my job search, I am looking for anything. I'm not specifically set in one particular direction. If a good opportunity arises and seems to be a good fit, then I'm game.

Now, back to my crazy life from last week...

Tuesday night, I went to the gym and everyone and their brother was there and on a treadmill, so I couldn't do my regularly scheduled speed workout. Instead, I parked myself on an elliptical machine and did 35 mins of hills forward and backward and then did my abs class. I didn't get home until after 9 and didn't feel like cooking, so I whipped up some oats. I made them extra fancy by adding, pb, raspberry preserves and a chopped banana that had very few days of life left. This is what I got...

Wednesday night, after group meeting, was my make-up birthday froyo party. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it. I didn't only just have froyo, I had a froyo pie!! It was amazing even though I only ate maybe 1/8 of the thing!

Froyo pie!!

Thursday night was Steak Night!! I was good and only ate half of my steak and potato which I had the leftovers for lunch on Friday, but I also had 3 cookies and a cupcake minus the frosting.

Friday night, Erin, Jess, and I went shopping for my interview outfit. I scored a black pants suit with a few different tops to choose from at Maurice's and these shoes from Macy's.

Also, in the mail that day, I received my new fancy running shoes from www.runningwarehouse.com. I took them for their inaugural spin Sunday morning for only 4 miles. This is what happens to you when you don't do a long run every weekend!

like running on a cloud!

Saturday, I helped work the WSU indoor track meet and met my future husband. He's a thrower for Utah State and he could pass for Kevin Greene's younger brother. Mine! :)

I think that pretty much wraps up the rest of my week last week. 

How was your weekend? Is it cold where you are? It was in the low 40s and raining this morning. Yuck!!

Now I'm off to PT. Possibly only one more visit after this!

Oh! I'm still taking interview advice/ questions I should ask about my first real Big Girl Job. 

Birthday Week Commences

Happy Weekend everyone!

I had all intentions of blogging yesterday but work took over and I ran out of time. I met Erin in the office at 5 b/c she was giving me a ride home to start the fun evening we had planned.

Originally, last night was to celebrate the fact that Erin had an interview for a new job, but it also ended up that I had a phone interview too! Crazy!

The plans for the evening were froyo for dinner and then seeing Sherlock Holmes. It was a smashing success and I remembered how much I missed my froyo. I was good and got the PB/ cake batter swirl with fruit and mochi on top.

After the movie, I went home and made a giant cup of tea that I was craving and read some more of 'Catching Fire'.

Backing up a little, I had a Good2Go bar for breakfast, 2 pieces of veggie pizza at lunch and 2 after my interview b/c I was losing my mind, and my greek yogurt as far as eats go. I had the froyo for dinner and a small popcorn with ranch and white chedder flavor sprinkled on it.

This morning, I battled the post office and mailed my package back to Bravissimo for an exchange. One bra was too small around (I couldn't get it to hook) and the other one made me feel claustrophobic from the cleavage! Not a good thing. So, I'm exchanging those two for a new nude tshirt bra, which is my favorite and I can wear with pretty much anything. I also mailed a job application. Woo!

I came to school and had a meeting with my Boss. We were supposed to talk about what I need to do to graduate but instead we talked about my "interview" and what I need to brush up on/ learn for the next one. It's all pretty exciting/ scary/ overwhelming all at the same time. B/c of my meeting, I sadly had to miss my workout class this morning but will do some kind of an ab workout later instead.

Tomorrow officially starts my birthday week and I'm going for my long run (7miles) and then meeting up with Erin to get our nails done! I'm going with the shellac again b/c it lasts so long! I just love it! This will probably be the last time I get my fingers done since my sister bought me a UV nail dryer so I can do my own shellac nails. I just have to buy the stuff to do it all.

After tomorrow, nothing is happening until my actual birthday on Wednesday and I'm having a party at the froyo place and getting a froyo pie!!! Thursday is birthday Steak Night and Saturday is awesome, meet the band, rock your face off with Theory of a Deadman Night!!! SOOOO Excited.

I may be turning 28 but this is going to be an awesome week and I think I'm past the idea of getting older get me down. I have so much fun stuff to do and a whole life in front of me to live!

Have you ever had a super fun birthday week? Or do you just celebrate on one day? 

I pretty much lucked out with the concert and Steak Night is always on a Thursday, so it's a week event this year!
